In the rollout for Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender, fans got a bit up in arms.

That wasn't the case last week and it isn't today either, with the Wordle puzzle fairly easy. While playing crosswords is a fun activity, it can get challenging, especially if you don't have clues. Wordle raises the difficulty a notch higher by not giving players any hints. Thus, they have to guess the answer using their wits. Also, players are advised to make guesses consisting of different and unrepeated letters. Once the letters are known, the game can become a bit easier for you to crack. Here are some of the best hints and clues that can help you solve Wordle today.

The wait for Shadow of the Erdtree is getting intense. Over the past month, we've seen players beat Elden Ring bosses with bubbles, storm castles with nothing but one button and morse code, roll in real life every time they roll in-game, use a violin to string together attacks, and power through against invisible enemies. But it doesn't stop there.

The other day I did something I haven't done for years. I browsed Facebook. By which I mean: I really took a look around. Good grief, what a mess! It's like walking round an abandoned amusement park of badly executed ideas. Can you name a single person who's found love through Facebook Dating, which was meant to challenge Tinder? Is anyone viewing Facebook Watch, a supposed rival to Netflix? How about the Facebook Gaming portal, once billed as its foray into cloud gaming and an effort to take on streamer platforms Twitch and YouTube? Today it's littered with low-rent titles offering little more to the player than your typical fruit machine. Even some of the more popular ideas must be shared with warning labels — scammers are everywhere on Facebook Marketplace.

At only two minutes in length, the latest trailer for Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO is packed with all the Goku vs. Vegeta goodness you could expect from Dragon Ball. While at first glance the trailer is full of some of the Saiyan rivals greatest hits, there's still quite a few small details that may have instant-transmissioned on the screen, but that's ok because we’re here to help you spot everything. These are 7 details you may have missed in the latest Dragon Ball: Sparking ZERO trailer.

Madame Web star Dakota Johnson has opened up on her experience filming the Sony Marvel movie, and it sounds like it was unlike anything she'd shot before.

There are a variety of different types of Merchant spread across the islands of Palpagos. From Seeds to Ammo and everything between, there’s one who sells what you need. Here’s the rundown of all static Merchants, where to find them and what they sell. 

Setting up a base is one of the very first things you’ll do when you’re getting started in Palworld. You’ll be building up your base throughout the game, so getting your location and layout right will save you plenty of headaches in the long run - here’s what we wish we knew starting out!

As a lifelong fan of Pokémon, I’m used to seeing other games in the “monster tamer” genre that are clearly inspired by it, from Temtem to Ni no Kuni, but nothing made me do a double take quite like Palworld, aka Pokémon With Guns. The first trailer of what looked like a heavily armed Pokemon Trainer using a terrified little pocket monster as a bullet shield was like a meme come to life. While the ridiculous concept is good for a laugh, what’s not so much of a laughing matter is how developer Pocketpair has seemingly copied elements of more than a few Pokémon designs when making its own creatures for Palworld, called Pals.

The official Dragon Ball Games Twitter account has shared an image from the upcoming Sparking: Zero trailer, which gives us our first look at Goku and Vegeta as Super Saiyans.
